.
did anyone else watch this?
It was the most recent 16 and pregnant on MTV. So far, the few I have watched have have all been of the mothers and fathers barely getting by, fighting, and so on. I'm on bedrest, and its actually interesting cause I am so bored, but the last one really got to me. The parents decided to give the baby up for adoption. If you ask me, the adoptive parents were kinda. . . Creepy.especially the adoptive father. He looked at the babys father and said 'are you hanging in there sport?' While his girlfriend was in labor. I wanted to hit the adoption agency lady who came in a few hours after the baby was born and said 'I want the friends and family to leave, and it be you two, the baby, and the adoptive parents' the girl said, I want ten more minutes to take pictures and the worker responded 'ten more? okay I guess ill have to go entertain them and hold them off a little longer'. It was like she was in the wrong, and the worker had a 'polite, nice, but being a ***** at the same time' attitude. the adoptive mother kept on saying 'this amazing gift you've given us' which crawled all over me, I hate being called a gift. One thing they did that was sweet was have matching bracelets that say 'always in my heart', and had one for the baby when she gets older. The saddest part was seeing them drive off with the baby right after she left the hospital. I cried like a big baby for the last 15 minutes. If you watched it, what did you think about it? The adoption agency, the biological parents, the adoptive parents, and so on.

I watched it, and it made me realize how hard giving up a baby for adoption would be. I thought the biological parents would have been great parents, but they found adoptive parents who looked nice. It was the most realistic episode I've seen yet. But guess what:
I'm going to be on the show!
I just talked to the producer today! Of course my espisode won't air for a while, it's still exciting!
I'm 16 and pregnant, 13w 5d!

That episode came on right as I was posting this haha

k i didnt see it and im glad i didnt cos it would a just annoyed me, reason im answering is cos i just read Santas Lil Helper answer and i am actually so ******* angry at what she said. should have saved themselves so much heartbreak by having an abortion? jesus, what about the baby? the parents chose to have sex, the baby didnt choose to be conceived at an 'inconvenient' time for the parents!!! is abortion just a quick fix now, to save people 'heartbreak' or guilt or pressure when deciding whether to keep or give up a baby for adoption? whatever te problems with adoption, and i know them, i am adopted, its better than being killed b4 u even get a chance at life.

The natural mom is now 17, the father is now 20. The fact that their families were willing to help them raise the baby and they STILL chose to give up the baby annoyed me. I think they made a selfish decision by giving up the baby because they had the resources to raise her. I didn't like anyone involved except baby carly and her grandparents.

I felt compassion and sadness for the couple. Had they chose to just have an abortion they could have saved themselves so much heartache.

I watched it and it was really hard to watch. I wanted to bad for them to be able to keep the baby that they cared so much about. I'm glad its going to be an open adoption. It was heartbreaking that her mother didn't support their decision. I also found it weird that her mom and his dad were married and they were step-siblings.

i was watching it, but i was also doing other stuff so i didnt see all of it, but the real paretns i thought were nice, and I thought they couldve handeled the baby, but the dad looked like he was 14 or 15. i didnt see they adoptive parents. The adoption lady, i agree, was nice and polite, but also a *****.

it was the saddest 16&pregnant yet. ive seen all of them

the whole episode made me cry my eyes out. i dont have any close ties to adoption but i can definitely see how it hurts everyone involved. i felt so bad for the teens because one of the hardest days of their lives was one of the best for the adoptive parents. i did see that next week theyre going to bring the baby to see her on the updates show. im not sure whether or not thats a good or bad thing though!!

I thought the birth parents did the most unselfish thing ever. They realized they weren't ready for a maybe and to whoever said they were selfish because their parents were going to help well guess freaking what ITS NOT YOUR PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!! They were a mess themselves geez!! They had NO basis to say anything being in prison for 10 years moving 13 times crap they shouldn't have even had kids!!!! But thankfully somehow the birth parents seem like good kids and have a great future! The adoptive parents are humble people and will be amazing parents. It really pisses me off that people are making fun of them grow up and if your having sex stop if you cant make a adult decision. Crap you cant even stop making fun of people that's real mature.

I watched all of the other ones, but didn't watch that one after I saw on the preview that they were giving up their child for adoption. It's way too triggering for me and like you, I would have sobbed ridiculously when I watched that.

My heart aches just reading your synopsis and thinking about it.

I completely agree with yo on the Adoption "Agent". (This is what they called her on the show) The word Agent was the first thing that got me...All I cold think of was a Real Estate Agent or Travel Agent. Someone who's sole job is to sell something, or someone in this case. It also pissed me off when she tried to chase the friends ot of the room only 5 hours after the baby was born. But she works for Bethany...So I don't know why I expected more.

I really got the feeling that the baby's dad was the driving force behind the adoption. Mom seemed OK with it, bt he kept saying how the baby wold be better off, how she deserved more, etc. Mom stated that she had to live with her Grandmother . I wonder if this is part of the reason she didn't think she could be good Mom. I don't think either of them had the best role models. But, while their parents were dysfunctional, they were wiling to be there for them.

The AP's also creeped me out. Every time the Amom said something about baby being a gift, I wanted to gag. Also, did you notice how quickly they took off once they had the baby? Maybe it was editing, bt it looked like they ccouldn't get away from the Mom & Dad fast enough.

I cried pretty much through the entire show.
